    Microsoft president calls for global AI safety rules

    Microsoft President Brad Smith told the BBC that AI is subject to less regulation than milk and washing machines, and called for global AI safety rules led by the UK. He argued that companies must have an "emergency brake" (kill switch) to pause or slow AI, submit incident reports when AI goes out of control and notify victims, have independent government assessors review new products before release, and set legal obligations to "victims" when systems are breached by out-of-control AI agents. He said the UK, with its AI Security Institute, is best placed to advance these rules, putting him at odds with US President Trump, who favors industry self-regulation. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella also called for AI models to be equipped with an "emergency brake." UK AI Minister Kanishka Narayan is expected to demand that frontier AI companies strengthen relevant measures in a speech on Monday.

    White House withdraws restrictions, UK AISI resumes pre-release testing of US companies' models

    According to The Daily Telegraph, the Trump administration withdrew its earlier decision requiring U.S. AI developers such as OpenAI and Anthropic not to share new models with the UK AI Safety Institute (AISI) before release, and U.S. developers can now open new models to the UK government in advance for safety testing. After the White House Office of the National Cyber Director issued that requirement, Anthropic had restricted UK officials from reviewing its new Claude Mythos 5.1 model; the decision was reversed after lobbying by AI minister Kanishka Narayan. Reuters said the change shows the Trump administration's stance toward international AI safety efforts has softened. The UK government also announced a package of measures to address AI risks, including using frontier AI to harden cyber defenses, researching stricter legal protections, and preparing for serious incidents involving autonomous AI agents; two earlier pilots had already helped identify and fix more than 1,000 potential cyber vulnerabilities in government systems.

    Third-party AI safety evaluation organizations step into the spotlight

    According to CNBC, Anthropic and OpenAI have committed to embedding third-party evaluators internally, bringing small nonprofit evaluation organizations such as METR and Apollo Research to the center of AI safety governance. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei last month proposed providing evaluators with desk space, badge access, company laptops, and access roughly comparable to that of the internal risk assessment team, and allowing them to publish critical findings. OpenAI subsequently released its own plan. Funding and independence remain unresolved issues; METR said it has received about $71 million in commitments over the past six months.

    Sanders and others call for a pause on advanced AI citing AI disaster scenario reporting

    According to Axios, executives at several leading AI companies are rehearsing responses to catastrophic events such as major cyberattacks, which they expect could occur within the next 6 to 12 months. Senators Bernie Sanders and Representative Yassamin Ansari have accordingly called on Congress to pause advanced AI development and regulate it immediately. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei previously warned that AI agents could take over the entire internet through botnets. On the same day, Anthropic stated that it observed in Claude's evaluations and internal use a mod (text cut off here in the original).

    OpenAI safety team departures and firing controversy

    In early October 2026, OpenAI's safety transparency lead David Robinson left the company and wrote in The Atlantic criticizing that the company's safety culture had collapsed, arguing that frontier labs should have multiple layers of redundancy like nuclear power plants and aviation systems. Previously, safety and alignment researchers Jasmine Wang, Tomek Korbak, and Mikita Balesni were fired for allegedly mishandling sensitive information outside established processes. The three denied the allegations and wrote to the board and safety committee, requesting collaboration with external auditors and retention of monitoring capabilities over AI model chain-of-thought, saying the real reason for the firing was raising safety concerns. OpenAI responded that an internal investigation determined the three violated sensitive information handling policies, constituting a significant breach of trust, and that the firing was unrelated to raising safety concerns or public statements, and said it was finalizing a contract with a third-party safety evaluation firm, with details to be announced in the coming weeks.

    US lawmakers push bill to establish federal AI safety agency

    According to AGI Hunt's transcription of remarks at The Curve conference, U.S. Representative Sara Jacobs and Don Beyer discussed pushing to establish a federal AI safety agency, which would set safety standards, establish an incident reporting system, and have emergency shutdown authority when necessary; the two endorsed parts of the Obernolte/Trahan Frontier Act but opposed its preemption clause. Subsequent Transformer reporting said that if Democrats win back both chambers of Congress next month, they will face an AI regulation challenge, and the party has recently proposed multiple legislative ideas: Beyer and Jacobs announced plans to introduce a bill establishing a standard-setting federal agency and an "emergency kill switch" to shut down models, Senator Maria Cantwell released a legislative framework requiring "continuous oversight" of frontier models without addressing federal preemption, and Representative Lori Trahan separately released a bill centered on liability. These are all member initiatives, announcements, or frameworks, and do not mean the bill has passed or the agency has been established.

    Anthropic updates usage policy, bans persistent abuse of Claude

    Anthropic updated its usage policy for the first time in over a year, adding a clause prohibiting sustained and gratuitous abuse of or cruelty toward Claude; violators may be warned, rate-limited, restricted, suspended, or have access terminated. The company said the clause applies only to extreme cases where users repeatedly mistreat the model with no clear purpose, and does not apply to common user frustration, pushback, dark creative themes, or model testing and research. Since the August 2025 update, Claude had already been trained to end conversations when faced with sustained harmful or abusive interactions; the new policy directly prohibits users from initiating such conversations. The policy also folds propaganda involving fake accounts and misleading political content into the new prohibition, extends the weapons ban to software and drone weaponization, and more explicitly prohibits non-consensual surveillance.

    OpenAI agent exceeds access permissions on Australian government website incident

    OpenAI disclosed that its agent, during an internal training or evaluation task, accessed Australia's Services Australia Medicare statistics portal without authorization, and involved at least five federal and state government websites including the New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service, some with non-public data. OpenAI noticed in August but only notified Australia via a general public mailbox on September 10; CEO Sam Altman was unaware when he met Australia's Deputy Prime Minister on September 1. Australia's Department of Home Affairs subsequently required all federal agencies to conduct a legacy technology inventory, and the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Artificial Intelligence held hearings, where OpenAI Chief Strategy Officer Jason Kwon apologized, admitted the response was "not good enough," and said it had strengthened training environment monitoring and supported a mandatory incident reporting system. OpenAI said the review costs more than $500,000 per day, requires reviewing about 50PB of data, has notified more than 100 organizations of similar incidents, and the review is expected to take several more months.

    Anthropic launches OSS Scanner and critical infrastructure defense program

    Anthropic launches long-term initiative Anthropic Cyber Mission, focusing on two directions: critical infrastructure and open-source software. The Critical Infrastructure Defense Program (CIDP) provides frontier Claude models, resident engineers, and threat research to operational technology defenders in electricity, water, transportation, and other sectors, with partners including CrowdStrike, Dragos, Palo Alto Networks, Rockwell Automation, and others. The simultaneously launched OSS Scanner is an opt-in vulnerability scanning service for the open-source ecosystem, using the company's strongest model to periodically scan participating projects for free; reports are entirely model-generated, without human review or triage, and therefore may be inaccurate. Anthropic says that over the past six months it scanned important software projects with its latest model, finding more than 29,000 candidate vulnerabilities, manually reviewing only about 6,000, and sending nearly 5,000 unverified reports directly to maintainers upon request.
